Welcome to the HIHOA ( Houston Ice Hockey Officials Association ) website!

Today is Friday, July 03, 2009

All playoff assignments have been made.

We are now in the Round Robin portion of  the playoffs.   Games can end in a tie.  No overtime should be played until the Championship game on Friday.

Game Format for single elimination and City Championship playoff series types:

Game Time alloted will be 1 Hour 30 Minutes

3 Twelve (12) minute periods. 

If tied at the end of the 3rd period:

15 Minute running time Sudden Death OT.  Teams do not switch ends.

If tied at the end of the 15 minute OT:

A Five (5) player shootout is to be conducted.  Home team has option of shooting first.

If after the five (5) player shoot out no winner is determined, a sudden death shoot out will be conducted until a winner is determined. The five players selected for the five player shoot out will not be eligible for the sudden death shoot out until all other eligible players on the team have had a shot. At such time, the rotation will start over.

There must be a winner for all games except the Round Robin Final 4 team tournament.

The following games are scheduled to be web cast.  There will be media time outs at the first stoppage (Not during power play) after the 4 and 8 minute marks of each period.

These media timeouts must not be taken during a power play.  They are to be 1 minute in duration.  Have the teams ready to face off after one minute.

The intermissions need to be 2 minutes in length to accomodate the media time outs.  Have both teams on the ice and be ready to drop the puck at the end of 2 minutes. 

 ISHL Game of Week Broadcast - Schedule: 

All ISHL players must have identical Jerseys with the exception of teams listed below:

NONE

The exclusion reads:

The jerseys that these players are to have to be eligible to play will have to solid in like color and have the correct size # on it and doesn’t have to have a name. The # must be ironed or sewn on NO tape.

ISHL Uniform Rule:

All players must be in the correct uniform, that includes jersey and socks. ISHL Section T, 10 states the procedures that must be followed if a player does not have the correct jersey after that date. This section does not include socks, however, every attempt should be made to have all players on the team wearing the same uniform socks. Should a player not have the correct uniform socks for the game, than the player must wear socks that are very close in color to the team uniform sock.

Make sure your first and last name is printed legibly on the score sheet.  The team rep must be able to read the names on the sheet to enter game information in the league stats database.

ISHL Period Length

Remember 1st and 2nd are 12 minutes.  3rd period divide the actual time left and divide by 2.  Round up if needed.

ISHL has the mercy rule.  Any time there is a 6 goal differential the game goes to running time.  Any time the goal differential is less than 6, revert to stop time.

Don't look too hard for infractions, they will stand out  when they happen.
